Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 348 My Leeks Are Fighting (Fourth Update!)

Uchiha Sasuke…

It's truly indescribable!

This guy actually took all the stories Uehara Naraku once told seriously. Does he really think Uchiha Itachi wants to overthrow the order of the ninja world?

"Senior, it's not too late for you to turn back now."

Sasuke Uchiha manipulated the Amaterasu black flames to coat his arrows, and suddenly spoke to Naraku Uehara, urging him to surrender: "Our dream of changing the world order still exists, senpai, join me again!"

A hint of arrogance flashed across Sasuke's face: "Senpai, I have now obtained the strongest power in the world, and in my opinion, you are the only one in the world most qualified to be my teammate..."

"..."

Thank you for thinking so highly of me!

Uehara Naraku was completely baffled.

What's wrong with Uchiha Sasuke's brain and courage?

Now, can someone tell him why Uchiha Sasuke dared to try and persuade him to surrender? Is this guy really crazy?

Without hesitation, Uehara Naraku frowned immediately: "Sasuke, have you gone mad?"

"No, I am more clear-headed than ever before."

Standing within his Susanoo, Sasuke Uchiha slowly shook his head, opened his palms, and earnestly invited, "Senior, join me! I have now gained power surpassing that of Madara Uchiha. Let's change the order of this ninja world together!"

"Sasuke..."

Uehara Naraku sighed softly and resorted to his old tricks: "Itachi would never have imagined you'd end up like this. What you should be doing now is finding a quiet town, marrying a wife, and having lots of kids..."

"senior!"

Sasuke Uchiha interrupted Naraku Uehara, a hint of regret flashing across his face. He looked at Naraku and said softly, "Senpai, do you think someone with the power to change the world would be content to live in a small village?"

"..."

Uehara Naraku fell silent.

Sasuke Uchiha is right. As someone with the power to change the world, it seems unlikely that he would be willing to live in a small village!

So, as the strongest ninja in the ninja world, Uehara Naraku, besides being the village chief of Amegakure, occasionally did side jobs, like working as a behind-the-scenes mastermind in the ninja world...

He, Uehara Naraku, could easily be the mastermind behind everything.

Why is Uchiha Sasuke also thinking of stirring up trouble?! He clearly has a problem with his self-perception, right? How can he think he's surpassed Uchiha Madara?!

The current Uchiha Sasuke...

It really is a leek waiting to be harvested by Uehara!

It'll probably be a while before Sasuke realizes what Madara's power truly means once he shows up...

"Sasuke!"

Upon seeing Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto couldn't contain himself any longer. He leaped forward, forcing back an Edo Tensei ninja, and suddenly landed beside Naraku Uehara.

Naruto Uzumaki stared at the towering Susanoo and said in a deep voice, "Sasuke, so now you've finally joined Orochimaru?"

"Naruto!"

The black flame arrows from the purple Susanoo suddenly aimed at Naruto Uzumaki!

Sasuke Uchiha stared at Naruto Uzumaki, a complex expression flashing across his face before turning into a sinister glint: "Naruto Uzumaki, you're no match for me right now... Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand!"

"Yeah?"

A golden chakra cloak suddenly appeared around Naruto, his gaze fixed on Sasuke, and he said in a deep voice, "But I've already risked my life to catch up with you, Sasuke. This time, I will definitely bring you back!"

At this moment, Naruto's gaze was incredibly firm.

At this moment, Sasuke's gaze became even more resolute.

At that moment, Uehara felt a little superfluous.

After seeing Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha ignored Naraku Uehara and focused his attention back on his former friend.

Just as the fierce battle below seemed out of place for them, and the atmosphere among them grew increasingly tense, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly grinned, looking at Naruto Uzumaki and saying, "Then you can start!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes suddenly turned crazed, and his voice gradually became more sinister: "Naruto Uzumaki... then let's start with you, and let everyone in this world feel the pain of Itachi Uchiha!"

The next moment, Sasuke gritted his teeth and manipulated his Susanoo, suddenly firing his giant black flame arrow at Naruto!

"If you're going to kill me, then come on!"

Suddenly, a giant chakra hand emerged from behind Naruto Uzumaki, containing a massive Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken, which pressed down towards the black flame arrow!

A violent explosion resounded across the land!

The moment the spiraling shuriken in mid-air clashed with the giant black flame arrow, black and white swirled rapidly within it, and countless black flames were blasted away by the spiraling shuriken!

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle!

Uehara Naraku stood there, watching his two leek plants fight. He decided to continue harvesting his spoils... These reanimated ninjas could also provide him with bonus attributes!

On this battlefield, no one is spared; everyone is searching for their own battle.

This is the fate of the ninja world, and no one can escape it.

Kakashi Hatake and Sakumo Hatake clashed, and Kakashi barely managed to keep up with his father's movements, relying on his Sharingan.

The battle between Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, master and apprentice, was even more intense. As two ninjas who were equally skilled in ninjutsu, no one else could get involved in their fight. All that could be seen was the clash of powerful ninjutsu on the battlefield!

After a brief exchange with Rasa, Gaara, with the help of Sasori of the Red Sand, easily suppressed his father.

To be honest, Gaara's feelings were quite complicated.

He never imagined that one day he would become teammates with Sasori of the Red Sand, and even fight alongside Sasori's Rasa puppets...

"This feeling..."

Gaara's face showed both utter disgust and a hint of relief; after all, at least Rasa's crisis was resolved.

Compared to their side...

The Third Raikage, A, swept through the battle.

No ninja from Kumogakure could possibly be a match for the Third Raikage, A, or Brubi; even Killer Bee was merely on the defensive.

"Hellfire Thrust - One-Shot Punch!"

The Third Raikage, A, transformed into a bolt of lightning and suddenly rushed towards Killer Bee's position. This move would definitely pierce through Killer Bee's body!

During the war between Kumogakure and Iwagakure, it was the Third Raikage, A, who used this technique to pierce through the massive earth wall set up by the Iwagakure ninja, allowing his Kumogakure ninja to escape...

"It's over..."

Killer Bee's sunglasses reflected the image of the Third Raikage, A. A sense of despair flashed through his heart. There was no enemy in this world that Hell Thrust could not defeat!

The next moment, a figure suddenly passed by him, cleanly snapped the Third Raikage's arm, and kicked the strongest Raikage to the ground!

"...What...is going on?"

Killer Bee's mouth opened involuntarily as he watched a group of sealing squad members swarm forward and seal the Third Raikage.

Killer Bee's neck seemed to stiffen as he slowly twisted, watching the person who had defeated the Third Raikage rampage across the battlefield—it was Uehara Naraku.

Killer Bee's face twitched as he recalled the fear he and the Fourth Raikage, A, had felt at the hands of Uehara Naraku: "This guy, being able to do that... isn't so surprising..."

This is certainly not surprising.

Uehara Naraku fought valiantly on the battlefield, leading the Allied Shinobi Forces to seal away the Edo Tensei ninjas. This news quickly reached the Allied Shinobi Forces' headquarters.

It seems they made the right choice.

Whether it was the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, or Tsunade and the Fourth Raikage, they all believed that Uehara Naraku was a very competent commander-in-chief of the Allied Shinobi Forces, and that the second wave of Edo Tensei ninja should be dealt with soon…

Looking at the battle report coming from the front, Tsunade slowly said, "In that case, only Madara Uchiha and my great-grandfather are left. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"The victory is already secured."

The Fourth Raikage nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "At least there shouldn't be any problems from now on. If Uehara Naraku can hold off the First Hokage, tens of thousands of ninjas can easily surround and defeat Uchiha Madara, and then they can go and besiege Orochimaru..."

"Um…"

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, nodded reservedly and said in a low voice, "There shouldn't be any problems. Even though that guy is Uchiha Madara, he couldn't possibly withstand an attack from tens of thousands of ninja, could he?"

To be honest, Ohnoki was still a little uneasy.

Onoki had personally witnessed how Madara Uchiha ravaged the ninja world. After Konoha was established, any ninja clan that refused to submit and join Konoha were forced to flee to the Land of Fire under Madara Uchiha's coercion.

In that era, no matter how miraculous one's bloodline limit was, how abundant one's chakra was, or how proud one's family's secret techniques were, one would ultimately become an insignificant ninja under the shadow of Madara Uchiha's fame.

Inside the hidden base.

Orochimaru finally began extracting the Nine-Tails' chakra.

The defeat of the second batch of Edo Tensei ninjas made Orochimaru realize a reality: rather than waiting for the enemy to invade and suffer humiliation, he should try to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

If we could truly obtain the power of the Sage of Six Paths…

Kabuto Yakushi sat on a Go board, calmly watching the pieces disappear one by one. He calmly placed his own piece on the board and asked, "Is there really anyone in this ninja world who can rival Lord Naraku?"

The next moment, Kabuto slowly raised his gaze and looked at a coffin next to him. He stared at the sleeping figure inside the coffin, the body he had just created for that legendary figure.

Madara Uchiha.

Since Madara Uchiha's lifespan ended naturally, it would be quite troublesome to revive him using his full strength.

Kabuto pushed up his glasses, sighed, and said, "Really, we still need to buy some more time for Lord Orochimaru. Fine, then you can go!"

Kabuto's fingers suddenly closed, a smile playing on his lips: "I hope that once you're there, you can give Lord Naraku some enjoyment in battle... Lord Naraku, he's a legendary figure, and certainly strong enough to be at his peak!"

One more chapter left. Those who haven't slept yet, go to sleep now. You can read it tomorrow!
